From first establishing The Coach Cafe at Coach Play Singapore Shophouse on Keong Saik Road, Coach has come a long way since launching the hospitality concept in April 2023. Today, it boasts 14 Coffee Shop outlets globally, including the Weave outpost, with plans in place to open more in Asia. Set within the Coach retail store, the playful, chic space offers 35 seats split between an intimate 12-seat interior wrapped in tropical greenery and vintage New York nostalgia, and a breezy 23-seat alfresco terrace. A quick peruse of the menu affirms the very same meticulous attention to detail that went into building their leather empire.

American comfort classics are given reverential treatment worthy of their hometown New York heritage. In the deli section, the star is undoubtedly the Reuben, an undeniable nod to the legendary Katz’s Delicatessen. It stars a towering excess of corned beef, layered with tangy sauerkraut and savoury Swiss cheese in between house-made rye sourdough. Other options include a forearm-long American Wagyu hotdog, cradled in buttery brioche, fixed with the perfect relish to sauce ratio; and expertly grilled cheese toasties paired with tomato basil soup for maximum dipping pleasure.
If you’re a weekend warrior, there’s an incentive for the weekend-exclusive Classic Cheeseburger. It is constructed with juicy American wagyu, balanced with tangy burger sauce, and nestled in buttery brioche. Crispy housemade spiced curly fries come on the side.

But it’s the Singapore-exclusive Chilli Crab soft serve that reveals Coach’s unexpected culinary cunning. Served in distinctive terracotta swirls and crowned with a fried mantou, this dessert oozes Singaporean soul and does enough to capture the essence of our national dish in frozen form. Another heavy-hitting soft serve is the quintessential Peanut Butter and Jelly, promising nostalgic childhood memories of Smucker’s Goober Grape Peanut Butter on white bread. For an aesthetically pleasing serve, ask for the cone, which comes embossed with Coach’s iconic C logo, freshly made on a bespoke waffle iron.

Speaking of logos, here is where Coach’s attention to detail comes to play. For the beverages on offer, guests will find a handcrafted semi-sweet chocolate letter ‘C’ in its signature DIY Hot Chocolate while orange icicles are sculpted into Coach’s iconic ‘C’ logos that swim in tangy orange fizz and orange vanilla cream.
Straying away from low-hanging gimmicks, this utilitarian touch point somehow manages to enhance rather than distract from the overall drinking experience. For trend chasers, there is also their version of the viral Strawberry Matcha Latte, made with ceremonial-grade matcha and whipped strawberry foam.

The Coach train isn’t stopping just yet. The Coach Play Singapore Shophouse now houses the Coach Bar, a pop-up concept rife with martinis and New York-inspired nosh. They are also set to launch Coach Restaurant, a refined modern New York steakhouse that first opened in Jakarta, at Jewel Changi Airport by the end of 2025.
